"This full-bodied, colossal giant of a wine is one of the
goliaths of the vintage. It may well have the highest level of
natural alcohol for any wine from the Left Bank of Bordeaux (15.1%)
and has the definite potential to be a 50- to 75-year wine. Dense
purple, it offers up notes of lead pencil shavings, charcoal
embers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur along with massive
concentration, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel and a monumental
finish that goes well past a minute, which I think might be a
record for a young Bordeaux." (98+ pts. Robert Parker, Wine
Advocate #205, Feb. 2013)
